New YORK, September 24.-Mr. Kuile.
General Agent Of the Favre line, said this
morning that he had given orders last
night for three days provisions to be GENT
to Hoffman and Swinburne Islands where
the passengers OF the Alesis, which
brought cholera to this country, are being
kept. Mr.. Kuile was of the opinion that
the passengers would have to be quaran-
tined for eight or ten days and after that
time there need be no fear of further in
lection. Kulle places great confidence in
the ability of D.. Smith and quarantine Of
fcisIs to prevent the spread of the scourge.
He said that the passengers baggage would
have TO be very thoroughly tumigated as
considerable danger would have to be fear
ed from that scourge.
CHICAGO, September A.-In speaking of
the Asiatic cholera in quarantine at New
York, Health Commission DewOlf said last
night: This information is very inter
esting ito Us if. read Alright. But we do
not need to be alarmed about any immedi-
ate danger in this country. The great
danger is not from such cases. The cloth
ing, freight and ali the effects of the vessel,
as well as all persons on board, will be
thoroughly disinfected. There will not be
the least possibility OF any cases arising
from it. Where fear trouble, is from the
following source: The summer clothing
which may be packed in the infected
districts in Europe may be sent
& er to this country in ship
that would have no case of cholera aboard
to cause any attention to be paid to dis
injecting. They are left until Spring and
then opened. In short time the whole
country is alarmed with new cases of chol-
era arising apparently without cause. In
1873 there were three cases of this kind
where the clothing that had been packed
in the fall in the old country was opened
here. There can be no effects of this cpl
demic in Chicago this fall. 1t is too late
in the season. Chicago germs cannot have
any results in cold weather. Yes, really
have some fears for next SpriDg-not par
tieuIarly for this city, but the whole coun-
try at large"
The Alesia is anchored in the lower bay
near the quarantine island. The sick are
in the Swinhurne Island hospital, where
they were taken on the vessels arrival.
Three Of the cases, those of Cornell Care
litr and Guglieluo Hell Tig and his four
year.old child, will probably prove fatal.
The others have more or less chances of
recovery. The balance of the passengers
and crew, with the exception OF the three
cabin passengers, numbering SOL, are under
supervision on Hoffman's Island, at the
expense OF the steamship company.
Should no cases occur the quarantine will
be raised IN eight or ten days. The cabin
passtDSeIs Iemnlu On tne vessel. Inc iat-
ter is being thoroughly cleaned and fumi-
gated, and by next Wednesday persons
will probably be allowed to board her.
Health officers say that the disease was
carried on board the ship by one or more
OF the passengers, and that the germs had
not been in the cargo, which was securely
sealed. The persons evidently came on
board at Naples, as for four or FIVE weeks
cholera has been raging near that city.
The baggage of the passengers, numbering
2, 200 pieces, is being unpacked and fumi-
gated The health authorities say that
the present cool weather will aid greatly
in stamping out the pest. The danger is
lsssened also because preparations had
already been made for the suppression Of
cholera, which was due in this country
this year.
